2019 Foundations Talk | 01:01:06 | K-6, General Classroom, Virtue, Character, Discipline
Summary
Throughout history, catechisms were used to firmly ground new believers who came to faith in Christ from a variety of worldviews and religions. Catechisms not only give children and new believers a language for the faith, but through the act of catechizing, the teacher is able to train children to love the right things . This workshop will examine the history of catechisms in the Church, the dark implications of neglecting purposeful catechisms, and the effectiveness of using a question and answer format in the classroom. The workshop will cover both the philosophical and practical application of catechisms and how they might fit in your school. The workshop includes video footage of Ambrose teachers and students using catechisms in the classroom.
